I learned the importance of independence
My mother, unfortunately, sacrificed her own career to move to a new country to be with my father, and then have two children. But beyond that, we had a live-in nanny and housekeeper. My dad wanted my mom available for his entertainment and socializing when he got off work. This left my mom, with little life of her own and rather depressed. I saw first-hand how sacrificing your own life for a marriage never works out.
